For Your Safety
Using the Camera
Do not aim the camera at extremely bright
light sources, such as the sun in a cloudless
sky. Failure to observe this precaution could
damage the camera image sensor.
Take Test ShotsTake Test ShotsBefore taking photographs on important
occasions (such as at weddings or before
taking the camera on a trip), take a test shot
and view the result in the LCD monitor to en-
sure that the camera is functioning normally.
FUJIFILM Corporation can not accept liability
for damages or lost profi ts incurred as a result
of product malfunction.
Notes on CopyrightNotes on CopyrightUnless intended solely for personal use, imag-
es recorded using your digital camera system
cannot be used in ways that infringe copy-
right laws without the consent of the owner.
Note that some restrictions apply to the
photographing of stage performances, enter-
tainments, and exhibits, even when intended
purely for personal use. Users are also asked
to note that the transfer of memory cards
containing images or data protected under
copyright laws is only permissible within the
restrictions imposed by those copyright laws.
HandlingHandlingTo ensure that images are recorded correctly,
do not subject the camera to impact or physi-
cal shocks while images are being recorded.
Liquid CrystalLiquid CrystalIn the event that the LCD monitor is damaged,
care should be taken to avoid contact with liq-
uid crystal. Take the urgent action indicated
should any of the following situations arise:
• If liquid crystal comes in contact with your
skin, clean the area with a cloth and then
wash thoroughly with soap and running
water.
• If liquid crystal enters your eyes, fl ush the af-
fected eye with clean water for at least 15
minutes and then seek medical assistance.
• If liquid crystal is swallowed, rinse your
mouth thoroughly with water. Drink large
quantities of water and induce vomiting,
then seek medical assistance.

For Your Safety
IMPORTANT: Read the following notices before using the camera’s
built-in wireless transmitter.
Q This product, which contains encryption function developed in
the United States, is controlled by the United States Export Admin-
istration Regulations and may not be exported or re-exported to
any country to which the United States embargoes goods.
• Use only as part of a wireless network. FUJIFILM does not accept li-
ability for damages resulting from unauthorized use. Do not use
in applications requiring a high degree of reliability, for example
in medical devices or other systems that may directly or indirectly
impact human life. When using the device in computer and other
systems that demand a greater degree of reliability than wireless
networks, be sure to take all necessary precautions to ensure safety
and prevent malfunction.
• Use only in the country in which the device was purchased. This device
conforms to regulations governing wireless network devices in the
country in which it was purchased. Observe all location regulations
when using the device. FUJIFILM does not accept liability for prob-
lems arising from use in other jurisdictions.
• Wireless data (images) may be intercepted by third parties. The security
of data transmitted over wireless networks is not guaranteed.
• Do not use the device in locations subject to magnetic fi elds, static electric-
ity, or radio interference. Do not use the transmitter in the vicinity of
microwave ovens or in other locations subject to magnetic fi elds,
static electricity, or radio interference that may prevent reception of
wireless signals. Mutual interference may occur when the transmit-
ter is used in the vicinity of other wireless devices operating in the
2.4 GHz band.
• The wireless transmitter operates in the 2.4 GHz band using DSSS and
OFDM modulation.
Wireless Network Devices: Cautions
• This device operates on the same frequency as commercial, educational,
and medical devices and wireless transmitters. It also operates on the
same frequency as licensed transmitters and special unlicensed low-
voltage transmitters used in RFID tracking systems for assembly lines
and in other similar applications.
• To prevent interference with the above devices, observe the following
precautions. Confi rm that the RFID transmitter is not in opera-
tion before using this device. Should you observe that the device
causes interference in licensed transmitters used for RFID tracking,
immediately choose a new operating frequency for this device to
prevent additional interference. If you notice that this device causes
interference in low-voltage RFID tracing systems, contact a FUJIFILM
representative.
2.4DS/OF4This sticker indicates that this device
operates in the 2.4 GHz band using DSSS
and OFDM modulation and may cause
interference at distances of up to 40 m.

13 First Steps
Inserting the Battery and a Memory Card
■ Compatible Memory Cards
FUJIFILM and SanDisk SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards have been ap-
proved for use in the camera. A complete list of approved memory cards
is available at http://www.fujifilm.com/support/digital_cameras/compatibility/.
Operation is not guaranteed with other cards. The camera can not be used
with xD-Picture Cards or MultiMediaCard (MMC) devices.
QQ Memory CardsMemory Cards
• Do not turn the camera off or remove the memory card while the memory card is
being formatted or data are being recorded to or deleted from the card. Failure to
observe this precaution could damage the card.
• Format SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards before fi rst use, and be sure to reformat all
memory cards after using them in a computer or other device. For more information
on formatting memory cards, see “K FORMAT” (P 108).
• Memory cards are small and can be swallowed; keep out of reach of children. If a
child swallows a memory card, seek medical assistance immediately.
• miniSD or microSD adapters that are larger or smaller than the standard dimensions
of an SD/SDHC/SDXC card may not eject normally; if the card does not eject, take
the camera to an authorized service representative. Do not forcibly remove the card.
• Do not affi x labels to memory cards. Peeling labels can cause camera malfunction.
• Movie recording may be interrupted with some types of SD/SDHC/SDXC memory
card. Use a H card or better when shooting HD or high-speed movies.
14 First Steps
Inserting the Battery and a Memory Card
• The data in internal memory may be erased or corrupted when the camera is re-
paired. Please note that the repairer will be able to view pictures in internal memory.
• Formatting a memory card or internal memory in the camera creates a folder in
which pictures are stored. Do not rename or delete this folder or use a computer or
other device to edit, delete, or rename image fi les. Always use the camera to delete
pictures from memory cards and internal memory; before editing or renaming fi les,
copy them to a computer and edit or rename the copies, not the originals.
QQ BatteriesBatteries
• Remove dirt from the battery terminals with a clean, dry cloth. Failure to observe this
precaution could prevent the battery from charging.
• Do not affi x stickers or other objects to the battery. Failure to observe this precaution
could make it impossible to remove the battery from the camera.
• Do not short the battery terminals. The battery could overheat.
• Read the cautions in “The Battery and Power Supply” (P vi).
• Use only battery chargers designated for use with the battery. Failure to observe this
precaution could result in product malfunction.
• Do not remove the labels from the battery or attempt to split or peel the outer casing.
• The battery gradually loses its charge when not in use. Charge the battery one or
two days before use.

Q Shooting may be interrupted if the camera is panned too quickly or too slowly. Pan-
ning the camera in a direction other than that shown cancels shooting.
Q The desired results may not be achieved with moving subjects, subjects close to
